CONSERVATIVE leader David Cameron yesterday backed under-fire Tory Welsh Assembly candidate Darren Millar as he took to the streets of North Wales for an eve-of-poll bid to win over the waverers.

Mr Cameron was in Llandudno yesterday urging locals to vote for Aberconwy’s Dylan Jones-Evans and the Tories in tomorrow’s elections.

Mr Cameron, asked about Tory candidate Darren Millar’s alleged remarks that homosexuality was a sin, replied: “Darren has made it clear he never made these comments and he doesn’t support discrimination of any kind and the matter should be closed.”

However, Mr Cameron was criticised for failing to visit the Clwyd West constituency Mr Millar is fighting. Alun Pugh, who is hoping to regain the seat for Labour, said: “David Cameron was driven through Clwyd West on the way to Llandudno, yet he did not stop for a photo with his candidate. This is unprecedented.

“If David Cameron is not backing Mr Millar why should anyone else.”

Party leaders targeted the region for votes in marginal seats ahead of the Assembly elections.
